If you’re into digital drawing with Procreate and looking for inspiration, the Daily Art Challenges for Procreate Fans Facebook Group is here for you. It’s a community that offers a week’s worth of daily prompts to spark your creativity and help you learn new techniques.

The group supports artists and digital artists of all levels, whether just starting out or seasoned Procreate enthusiasts. Our primary aim is to encourage daily creativity, help people move beyond the pursuit of perfection, and inspire them to experiment with new techniques.

We’re also proud of our positive and supportive community. Sharing art online can feel daunting, especially with the risk of harsh or dismissive feedback from others. Fortunately, our group is a safe space that’s free from negativity and unkind comments, where everyone can feel confident sharing their artistic journey. We have amazing zero-tolenance moderators who do a great job, though we have rarely had to remove any comments.

How the Group Works

Every Monday at 00:05, London time, we launch a week’s worth of exciting prompts in a fun video designed to push you beyond your creative comfort zone. These prompts ensure you’re never short of inspiration and always have a fresh challenge to tackle. The prompt-inspired artworks are meant to be completed quickly, helping members break free from the what can be a paralysing quest for perfection that plagues so many of us. We encourage members instead to focus on the joy of creating but at pace.

Maintaining Vision and Focus

To ensure the group remains a supportive and growth-oriented space, we’ve established some important rules:

Alignment with Prompts
Participation is centred around the weekly prompts, ensuring everyone is working in the same creative direction. This keeps the challenges unified and encourages collective growth. On Saturdays, we invite members contribute to our Sharing Saturday post by sharing their other creative adventures in the comments.

AI-Free Zone
To maintain the authenticity of artwork, all submissions are monitored with AI detection tools. We pride ourselves on originality and pure creative processes. To this end, we encourage everyone to share their Timelapse recording along with each submission. This not only helps other members learn from oter members’ processes but also avoids any AI doubt. On that note, we have othing against use of AI just not within our group where the focus remains firmly on human-created submissions.

No External Links or Sharing
To protect the focus on internal collaboration and respect intellectual property rights, external links or sharing of any submitted content outside the group is not allowed. Anyone who shares another member’s work outside the group will be removed.

Creative Freedom within Bounds
While we encourage bold and imaginative expression, we ask that everyone stays within the boundaries of decency to maintain a respectful and safe environment for all members.
